Wow, nakedly transparent attempt by mainstream media to discredit Mr. Assange for exercising actual journalism. Wonder how long it will take for him to become “suicidal” or for his small plane to crash.
Kudos to thebigprune commenter above.
This article is biased. I have not started reading the article when I already warned of the ‘dodgy’ Assange in the title itself. In the first paragraph the warning continue. We are told your journalist met his in the “run down Paddington district”. This is nonsense. Paddington is in the centre of town, flanked by Hayde Park, Notting Hill, Bayswater and very close to Oxford Street. Nobody in London calls the Paddington district ‘run down’.
Second paragraphL “dwindling number of loyalists” and “uses cash borrowed from friends”. Does he turn into a Wereworlf at night too?
Thirs paragraph, we steady him up a bit but hold on, “he sports a wispy stubble” that is really dodgy.
Fourth paragraph: “notoriety” again.
I wonder one thing. Did Mr Assange killed £200,000 people? Does he torture them?
No. It so happens that Mr Assange is taking on the most gigantic, un supervised power in the world. This is not Darth Vader and his cohoots. This is… the Pentagon! How come? The lovely Pentagon? That place full of generals and stars and cuddly Teddy bears?
